Abstract

The invention provides a trackless positioning navigation method and device. According to the method, the moving distance of a robot in a moving direction between adjacent time points (t-1) and t and the turning rate of the robot on a horizontal plane are measured, a position predication value of the robot is calculated through a preset dead reckoning equation and the measured moving distance and turning rate, local feature information in laser data obtained by measurement of a laser sensor is extracted and fused into a unified global feature map by the SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) technology, and the processes of estimating the position of the robot and generating a topological graph are achieved, so that the positioning navigation stability and reliability are improved on the basis of reducing the cost and the operation and maintenance expenses, and the moving needs of the robot in a natural environment are met.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of robot autonomous motion control, in particular to a trackless positioning and navigation method and device. Background technique [0002] After several years of development and promotion, the technical solution of the intelligent inspection robot in the substation has become increasingly mature. In the existing technology, the technologies used for the positioning and navigation of the robot in the substation mainly include the following types: [0003] 1. Magnetic strip guidance plus RFID (radio frequency identification, radio frequency identification) tag positioning method, this method mainly relies on the magnetic sensor array installed on the front of the robot chassis to detect the deviation of the robot relative to the magnetic strip track, and keeps the robot along the magnetic strip through control. The track movement in the center of the bar, and the RFID tag is used as the inspection ...
